SENATORIAL RACES IN GEORGIA TAKING NEEDED FUNDS
How much good could be done with $500,000,000 (Forbe’s estimate) during the pandemic? Rent assistance for those facing eviction or foreclosure? Heath care for the under-insured? Help for closed restaurants and other locally-owned businesses? Unfortunately, that money is “needed” for two U.S. senatorial races in Georgia!

The most secure honest election
It has been said that a bunch of Republican congress people will vote against certifying Biden as president and accepting the electoral college results. Those who vote that way are voting against our constitution and the voters of this country. They are saying they want a dictator to take over this country because they do not have a backbone.
Of course Trump has threatened them with some kind of death if they do not back him. Biden won by over 7 million votes and 30 or more electoral votes. I cannot believe all the BS that is going on. Trump idolises Putin. He wants to be a dictator like him. Everybody accepts losses in life, it happens, except Trump. The world must really be enjoying this. I pray for our country.

gohmert using the courts to help secure democracy
Congressman Gohmert is not breaking any laws. Implying criminality is ridiculous. He is using the courts to help secure our democracy, not condemn it. If the left believes there is no election fraud, then they should welcome a court case.
Let discovery and the facts make or break any case brought before the court. Americans need to see for themselves what facts are presented.
More than 74 million Americans don’t care about a certification of electors if it reeks of fraud and malfeasance. Let the truth see the light of day. Only then will we know we truly have a democracy left to preserve.

Gohmert’s disregard for the Constitution
Representative Louie Gohmert of Tyler recklessly neglects the safety and welfare of his constituency in favor of blindly following the alt-right cult. As deaths from the covid virus increase to epic proportions, Gohmert point-blank disregards covid-safety protocols, and he consistently has spread misinformation about the virus. His attention is focused on whining about the presidential election when he should be doing the necessary work in his home district to keep people from dying.
Gohmert is firm to his commitment to object to the Electoral College vote count on Jan. 6 in order to force an investigation based on the unjustified notion that there’s been voter fraud. As we say in East Texas, that dog don’t hunt. Meanwhile, Gohmert’s disregard for the Constitution puts him dangerously close to consideration for expulsion from the House.
